Here he is, Jack Torrence, known for his axing down of doors and and referances to late night TV shows. He is one of the greatest characters in film history and it was hard for me to make him number two because he’s so dang memorable. From his extremely repetitive novel to his discussions with imaginary Bartenders, this character is one of the many reasons why Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor. Mr. Torrence is spectacular character and Jack Nicholson is a spectacle to watch as him.
Actor: Jack Nicholson
Quote: “Wendy, darling, light of my life, I’m not gonna hurt you, you didn’t let me finish my sentence. I’m not gonna hurt ya, I’m just gonna bash your brains in, ha, I’m just gonna bash them righ the fuck in!! HA ha”
Action: Writes what everyone thinks to be a novel for a month and a half, but it turns out to be the same sentence over and over, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
I wish I coul d go back in time and tell myself not to see this movie because it was absolutely dreadful. It wasn’t even the kind of movie that you could call funny, but stupid, it was just stupidity from start to finish. It was as if, while I was watching the movie I was given the middle finger and being told by Will Farrell, “You actually paid for this shit, I can make any crappy movie I want and still make money”. There were only a few funny jokes in the whole movie. The rest of the time they just tried way too hard with pointless, immature, unfunny crap. I pray that Pineapple Express will be better than this crap. I know it will be though because Seth Rogen is the main character instead of the big jack ass we all know as Will Farrell. 99.9% of the movie I was just thinking to myself, were they serious when they decided to make this movie, is this some kind of sick joke. The other.1% I was laughing a little bit. Do yourself the favor of not wasting your money because I wouldn’t see this crap again even if I were paid.
He’s a wise and kind man, but only until he shows his true colors as a man of unlimited hatred and greed. He’s smart, ruthless, and full of himself. He will stop at nothing to get exactly what he wants and that is to be alone, away from the disgusting waste of space that is man-kind. He’s bitter, cruel, greedy, and determined.
Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis
Quote: I drink your milkshake! (sluuuurrrrppp) I DRINK IT UP!!!
Action: Finally kills his rival with a bowling pin.
In honor of the loss of a great actor and a the coming of an amazing movie. I give you my top ten favorite lines from Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight. It was hard to pick a top ten because basically every single one of is lines is made memorable by this incredible performance, but I did my best. Here they are:
P.S.: This post contains spoilers, if you have not seen the movie (do), but don’t read this until you have.
!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
First, the quotes that almost made it on the list (in no particular order):
“It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message. Everything burns!”
“I’m like a dog chasing cars, I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one, you know, I’d just do…things.”
“Let’s put a smile on that face!”
“Those mob fools want you gone. So they can get back to the way things were. But I know the truth, there’s no going back. You’ve changed things…forever.”
“And I thought my jokes were bad.”
Top Ten:
10. “The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight, you’re gonna break your one rule.”
9. “Do you want to know why I use a knife? You see, guns are too quick. You can’t savor all of the little…emotions. In their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way…I knew your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?”
8. “I believe… whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.”
7. (When told that he has a 50% chance of living) “Ummm, Now we’re talkin.”
6. “Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I’m an agent of chaos , and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.”
5. “I don’t wanna kill you, what would I do without you? Go back to rippin’ off mob dealers… no, no, no… no you, you complete me.”
4. “You can’t rely on anyone these days, you gotta do everything yourself, don’t we? That’s ok, I came prepared, it’s a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?”
3. “I took gotham’s white knight and I brought ‘im down to our level. Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push. ”
2. “Don’t talk like one of them, you’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak–like me. They need you right now. When they don’t…they’ll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their code: it’s a bad joke. They’re dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see, when the chips are down these civilized people will eat each other. Ya see I’m not a monster, I was just ahead of the curve.”
1. “You… you just couldn’t let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptable aren’t you. You won’t kill me because of some misplaced sense of self-rightousness. And I won’t kill you because…you’re just too much fun. I get the feeling that you and I are destined to do this forever.”
R.I.P. Heath, and thank-you for giving the world a performance of a life time.
He is one of the smartest villains ever. With a PhD in psychiatry and murder. He is a serial killer who kills and eats his victims, he’s a cannibal. You only know as much as he wants you to know and will bring you to the darkest corners of your own mind without a moments hesitation. He’s only as calm or mad as he wants himself to be. He’ll eat the skin off your face without racing a heartbeat. He is Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter.
Actor: Anthony Hopkins
Quote: “People will say we’re in love”
Action: Beats a cop, while blood is all over his mouth, as if he’s painting a picture.
He’s silent, deadly, smart and creative. He’ll get the job done no matter what the cost. He enjoys sporting a cattle gun and a shotgun with a foot long silencer. He never says more than he needs to and he’s a genius at his trade, which is unfortunately crime. He is symbolic for pure evil in a way no body else could be. You still fear him even with his funny hair cut.
Actor: Javier Bardem
Quote: “If the road you followed brought you to this, of what use was the road.”
Action: Flips a coin to decide the fate of a woman, to keep his word to her dead husband.
